Cut one piece of bakers twine about 24" long (Less if you do not want a double bow)

Bring the two ends of the pine stem up to meet each other. (see photos below)

Twist them together once (or twice), leaving about 1" overhang

Wrap the 1" pieces around the pine stem.

Shape into a circle with your hands

Easy, right?! If you need a little help with your circles...just use a cup/jar/mug.

Tie the Bow

Using the 14" twine, fold it in half, lay the wreath on top of it and then loop the loose ends through the closed end, and pull just a bit (not all the way). This is called a Cow Hitch Knot (I just learned that!)

Now fold the 24" piece in half and slip it under the strings of the cow hitch knot.

Pull the loose strings of the cow hitch knot tight to secure.

Tie a bow using the longer twine/ribbon...all done!

VARIATION: to make a smaller wreath, wrap the pine stem around 2x. When the ends meet twist together to secure. You can also cut the pine stem in half...I happened to like the contrast with the thicker stems.

Attach these to just about anything...they are cute and simple and charming!
